   Fandom?

   Does anyone know anything in depth about fandom.com/wiki pages?   
      
   From time to time I'll search for a movie or show summary and they will   
   be one of the top sites that come up. I'm surprised by how many   
   extremely detailed wikis there are -- for example, I went there today   
   and they had a banner linking to a detailed wiki for American Gods, a   
   show that I don't know anyone has watched, with 200+ pages of plot   
   summaries, character pages, etc.   
      
   Who writes these? I can see how there might be some dedicated fans of   
   franchises like The Simpsons or the Marvel movies who take care of their   
   pages, but it's hard for me to imagine anyone cares about American Gods   
   or the Disney show Milo Murphy's Law enough to keep that kind of thing   
   running. It's not a few pages, it's hundreds for each one.   
      
   Are these run by PR companies working for networks or production   
   companies? Or am I wrong and there really are dedicated fans for all of   
   these movies and shows?
